100kVA UPS Ensuring Reliability in South Australian Ports
State: SA
Date: 2014
The Problem:
South Australian Ports needed a high-capacity, scalable UPS to power their computer room infrastructure, which plays a crucial role in processing imports. The system had to be capable of:
- Handling fluctuating power demands in a high-traffic environment.
- Preventing downtime that could disrupt port operations and cause logistical delays.
- Providing redundancy to ensure uninterrupted performance under all conditions.
Our Solution:
To meet these demands, PSS supplied a modular 100kVA UPS (PMU), designed with an X+1 redundancy configuration. This setup ensured:
- Uninterrupted operation, with redundancy providing failover protection in case of component failure.
- Scalability, allowing for additional capacity as power demands increased over time.
- Optimised efficiency, delivering stable voltage to critical port infrastructure.
Our Solution:
Since its installation in 2014, the 100kVA UPS has provided uninterrupted power, ensuring smooth computer room operations. The X+1 redundancy provides critical infrastructure against unexpected failures, preventing downtime. The modular design also allowed the port to scale its power capacity as operational demands have grown.
Over the years, the UPS has demonstrated exceptional durability in a high-traffic environment, proving its reliability in managing the constant power requirements of one of the region’s key transport hubs.
Key Highlights:
- Modular 100kVA UPS offering flexibility and scalability according to requirements.
- X+1 redundancy for enhanced reliability and uninterrupted performance.
- Scalable design for long-term adaptability.
